Step outside the Big Blue House with Bear into the thriving community of Woodland Valley. When a big storm lands a tree right in the middle of the library, Bear calls an emergency town meeting. All the town's creatures a... more &raquore eager to help, and it soon becomes apparent that "if everyone does a little, a lot gets done." A joint effort by Tutter, Pip, Pop, Treelo, and their other animal friends to collect unwanted books restocks the library shelves, and some careful observation and creative thinking by Ojo preserves a tiny part of the Woodland community while incorporating the fallen tree into the design of the renovated library. The big lesson learned is that a community is like a big family: its members support one another no matter what. Skillful puppetry and catchy jazz-inspired tunes fill the program, and the DVD version features four sing-along selections. (Ages 2 to 6) --Tami Horiuchi&laquo less

Great story!

"This is a wonderful story. I watch Bear in the Big Blue House with my son, who's 18 months. He loves Bear, especially when he smells the camera/t.v. screen - it's a riot! This is a great story about a community coming together after a tree falls on the Woodland Valley Library. After being initially saddened by the loss of the library, everyone (Tutter, Ojo, Pip & Pop) rally together to collect books and rebuild their library. It's a great story of community and togetherness, and teaches kids that with a little hard work you can make anything happen. I plan on getting more "Bear" videos."

"Our two year old and our family are big Bear fans. We first discovered Bear when "potty time", was given to our daughter last christmas. We've been collecting them ever since. The are somewhat hard to find in stores. This dvd only has one, two part episode in which the community of woodland vally rebuild after a storm. The intro is different; and there are a few new characters but I would still recommend it highly"
